INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION
1. GENERAL
The installation of a marine engine is a very comprehensive task to be carried out with greatest care and attention.
Before beginning, plan the execution and the works very carefully.
There should be space for the following components:
Control, manoeuvring apparatus, instrument panel with laced wiring harness, fuel tanks, pipings, batteries,
engine compartment blower, air-vent conduits.
Don't forget that the engine compartment, the tank compartment and the battery box must be separated from
each other, to reduce the danger of fire. In addition, separate fire extinguishers must be available, e.g. in the
pantry, depending on boat size and type.
1.1. REGULATIONS
Note that each country has its own safety regulations as to installation. It is necessary, therefore, that the
boatbuilder/engine fitter is aware of the safety regulations in his country, before beginning works.
